1) For cat who pees outside the box, try putting a shower curtain or large plastic drop cloth under the cat box. It will keep the pee from soaking into the flooring. I used that when my senior cat went blind.

My 19+ y.o. Bootsie has arthritis in her hips so painful that she stands in the litter box and pees outside. I buy a big box of puppy pads from the discount warehouse store. I put 4 pads down around the litter box. When she misses, I just toss that pad and replace it. The puppy pads absorb the liquid and neutralize the odor better than plastic and you don't have to wash them.

We have (college!) students in our building, and it was probably one of them. I also found half-drunk convenience store coffee cups in the bathroom this week. Throw it away or take it with you!

I used to be the office manager at a construction company. A lot of the guys chewed tobacco. I absolutely detested finding cups sitting around on the desks growing some weird mix of dead coffee & tobacco spit. One of the sales guys and the yard manager both were extremely bad about this. There would be three or four cups o' yerk sitting on their desks for days at a time. They wouldn't even throw them out before the weekend. I would remind them rather firmly to chuck their yuck and it sometimes worked. I did give them both barrels when they would leave one on MY desk. SHUDDER!!!!!

One of my managers told me last night about the disgusting things she's found in our fitting rooms. a used diaper, but the worst was a used tampon sitting on the bench. mind you, we DO have a public bathroom. but i guess someone needed to change it and was too lazy. EWWWWW>

I don't know what's gotten into my niece, but she seems to wait until the most inopportune times to poo. The most recent was after a nap yesterday when my sister said there was almost 6 pounds of it spreading everywhere. She pooped herself into wakefulness at that point.

Niece's daddy learned when she was itty bitty why even though she technically fit in his lap, changing her in his lap without a diaper pad was a bad idea. She apparently wasn't done peeing when he pulled the diaper off and didn't have another one ready yet. I laughed.

I'm sorry, but the whole pooing herself away was incredibly funny to me.

So, my mother bought some granola bars to try (not sure if we're allowed to mention brand names or not). While they taste very good, they do have one unfortunate side effect due to the fiber. I have decided to re-name these things 'fart bars'. No, that isn't the sound of someone practicing with a trombone...unfortunately.

Last night, the area just below my armpit, just above my bra strap was kind of itchy. I scratched and heard a pop sound. I guess I had either a pimple or ingrown hair that was infected...got a nice large splattering of green, yellow, and bloody pus in my hand.

Considering the size and location, I'm really surprised it didn't hurt before the explosion.

After I switched brands of hormonal contraceptive pills, I started getting fairly epic but really tiny whiteheads. They act exactly like the big sebaceous cysts seen elsewhere on this thread, with the larger-than-they-look pus supply, only they're itty bitty. They usually come with a nice hard plug right in the middle too. Unfortunately, they're a bit painful, and they're too tiny for my cellphone camera to pick up properly.

Also, more than a week after my fall off my bike, my sprained ankle remains rather misshapen. I'll upload the pics later - I'm going to see the orthopedic doctor tomorrow. So glad they have Saturday hours and could squeeze me in.

I get those every once in a while, don't hurt at all and then all of a sudden it is huge and explodes in spectacular fashion.

I had one on my inner thigh, that when I popped it while sitting on the toilet at work it hit the wall a good 6 feet away with a small blood clot. I was impressed with myself.
